Collection Tips

Position the trash and recycle containers in the street against the curb, with the handle side closest to your home. Make sure containers are at a minimum 4 feet away from each other and from fences, light posts, mailboxes or other obstacles.

Place containers curbside by 6 a.m. According to Surprise City Code, containers must be removed prior to 11:00 p.m. of that day of collection.

Park at least 15 feet away from the containers. Your container cannot be emptied if a parked vehicle blocks it.

Please do not place hazardous materials in your trash container. Only regular household trash, garbage and small quantities of yard trimmings are acceptable. All trash should be bagged and tied.
